This is an excellent passage from the second chapter of Revolt of the Elites. The chapter itself is one of the best individual essays I've ever read. It's an analysis of the evolution of what opportunity meant before the Gilded Age and after. When it just meant the "ownership" of one's destiny and means no matter their economic station rather than the promise that anyone can be an elite.
